WHICH WAY =

WHICH, WAY
AS soon as several members of the house
decidetupon the way they shall go--whether
to the right or to the left, to the east or to
the west-the present painful harmony of
the legislature may be broken. Judging
from the buzzing of the legislative bees
last evening and the ceaseless humming of
the fitting solonic birds, the observer is
compelled to suspect that something will
drop during the next few days. But'as yet
nothing definite is known, and will not be
as long as certain able bodied defenders Of
the truth continue to converse with the va
rious factors as follows.
Doubtful Solon, to Mr.. Mentzer, cham
pion of Mtchell's cause-"Why, Mentzer,
you know how l stand, don't you? You
know that I'll stand by what saw"
Enthusiastically But want an un-
derstanding, so that I'll know what to de-
pend upon"
Doubtful Solon-"Did you ever know me
to go back on my word2"
Mentzer-"Never. But are you going to
stand by my bill?"
ID. Snow see here, Mentzer. do 1 look
like man that will break a pledge?"
MentZer-"Of course not. But haven't
got your pledge. Let's have an under
standing, so that we'll know just what
we're doing. Now tell me how you stand.

Harstad, the jolly Irishman from Traill, has
at last consented to having his photograph
placed in the legislative group. For some
many days to enter The photographers Of
flee, notwithstanding the fact that he had
been importuned and exhorted by his fel.
low-solons. Entreaties, pleadings, prayers
and petitions were of no avail, but yester-
day morning, much to the surprise of all,
he walked boldly to the gallery and con-
bounded surprise until it was learned that
the special artist of the Fargo Argus had
threatened to visit the city for the purpose
of securing the picture. Mr.. Harstad no
sooner heard of this plot than he escaped
to the photographers, and now, thank art
and perseverance, his handsome Hibernian
countenance will loom grandly in the midst
of the solonic group.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT MARRIAGE.
"What We Know About Marriage" or
"The Golden Stairs to Hymeneal Bliss"
is handsomely bound volume to be CON-
piled and published by the Senate uf Da-
kota. At least it is so suspected by the
large number of admiring visitors who
listened to the debate upon the marriage
bill yesterday afternoon. The remarks
were all good, and some poetic and elo-
quent, but the greatest knowledge, the
most thorough understanding and the
finest determinations between the propri-
cites and the improprieties, the needs and
qualifications of the marrying and the
married, were displayed by Senator Nc
Cumber, the eloquent bachelor who has
blighted the hopes of many fair maidens of
Dakota by obstinately refusing to succumb
to their entire Aties. His remarks as to the
proper age for marriage, and the necessary
safeguards to be thrown about the marriage
relations to insure happy families and
credltable posterity were particularly in
structive and all in all he made the effort
OF his life and showed deep and enviable
knowledge of the question. And yet, the
fact that Senator McCumber is not married
IS not Just ground for the inquiry OF Jealous
rivals as to how he came to know so much
about it,

Representative Burnham, of Cass county,
is graceful and digniied gentleman, and
when he steps into the aisle with his eve
glaS es swung gracefully over his Roman
nose and copy OF Cushing's Manual in his
hand, the hustle and noise ceases and all
ears bend his way.
After listening to Miss Cora E. Smith,
the charming and talented elocutionist of
Grand Forks, last evening, we cannot re-
train hx n from suggesting that il. the members
measures before the body will induce the
estlmable young lady to deliver their
speeches, they will never have cause for
regret.
The fact that Miss Cora E. Smith, who
entertained the audience with her elocu-
tiOnary powers end winsOme grace last
evening is student of the Grand Forks
university will not initiate against that
excellent institution when it's appropria-
ton bill is under consideration. If the
university can send into the realms of lit
erature such creditable representatives as
Miss Smith, it surely deserves the support
and encouragement of the legislature.

Through objectionable neglect the TR1B-

numerous anxious inquiries received from
the young ladies of the territory concern
ing Geo. Mathews, the handsome young
president of the senate. Here is one upon
our desk from an Intelligent young belle,
and it closes as follows: "First, of course.
| Wonld like to know whether or not Mr..
Mathews is married man, If he is not,
then the giving of information as to his
habits, disposition and inclinations will be
q great favor to, yours very respectfully,

visited the capitol and has become i'm
pressed with Mr., Mathews handsome fea-
lures and manly bearing, as we'll as the
dignified manner in which he presides,
and that she cannot longer refrain from in
qulry. The TRIBUNE, having had no in
terview with Senator Mathews on the sub
ject, is unable to answer the young lady's
questions, but it can assure her that in him
she will find most agreeable and accom-
modating gentleman.

ROI1ND TO RE- FASHION An,

BOUND TO BE FASHIONABLE.
Senator Grigsby, the sunny-bearded gen.
til man from the land of laughing waters
and chairman of the committee on bank
ing, was struggling vigorously with pen
and ink, and, as he leaned industriously
over his desk, large round beads Of sweat
rolled down his fair, soft cheek.
"Well, Grigsby, why are you working
so hard?" queried Senator Collins, in a
sympathetic tone.
"Don't bother me; don't bother me-"
calculated Grigsby, as his pen glided
swiftly over the paper and scattered ink
like rain. "Don't bother me, Collins; I'm
getting up banking bill"
"But why such lengthy bill ?" inquired
the curious Collins.
"Well, I'll tell you," replied Grigsby, as
he slammed his pen against the desk and
leaned back to get his second wind.

banking committee has been given clerk
to help out with the work, and I'll be
